Subject: XFree86 which version?
Hi,
Yesterday I downloaded all rawhide updates from my local mirror
(ftp://ftp.nluug.nl), and today I am getting the last packages that are not
yet available via the mirror from
ftp://ftp.redhat.com.
To my surprise my machine started downloading XFree86-4.3.0-24. This seems
to be the only version available via
ftp.redhat.com (by the way, quite
annoying that I can't download and have a tree view in my browser at the
same time because of "too many connections from your IP"), but at
ftp.nluug.nl only XFree86-4.3.0-25 is available. What happened? Was -25
pulled from rawhide for some reason?
Yes, there were some problems with that package that prevented
other things from properly compiling, so it was pulled. Fixes
have been available for a number of days, however our buildsystem
is not being mharris-friendly, so I'm unable to produce new
packages in a timely manner for the public.
The 4.3.0-29 build will appear publically once the buildsystem
lets it pass through. It builds and works fine for me locally.
Time will tell.
